Continuously variable transmission apparatus and air conditioning system having the same

A continuously variable transmission apparatus comprising:

• an input shaft that is adapted to be rotated by an external rotational force;
• an output shaft that is adapted to be rotated by a force transmitted from the input shaft;
• an input-side swing arm that is adapted to be swung about a swing axis thereof by the force transmitted from the input shaft;
• a support member, by which the input-side swing arm is swingably supported;
• a rotation-to-swing converting mechanism that converts a single directional rotational motion of the input shaft into a swing motion of the input-side swing arm;
• an output-side swing arm that is adapted to be swung about a swing axis thereof when the output-side swing arm is urged by a corresponding part of the input-side swing arm;
• a swing-to-rotation converting mechanism that converts a swing motion of the output-side swing arm into a single directional rotational motion of the output shaft;
• and
• an adjusting mechanism that adjusts an amount of swing of the output-side swing arm by changing a location of a point of action of the input-side swing arm relative to the output-side swing arm in a radial direction of the swing axis of the input-side swing arm.
